Sanitary Process Refractometer

K-Patents Sanitary Compact Refractometer PR-23-AC provides accurate means for measuring Brix and liquid concentrations in hygienic installations and in small pipe line sizes of 2.5 inch and smaller.

 

The PR-23-AC sensor is installed in the pipe bend. It is angle mounted in the outer corner of the pipe bend directly or through a flow cell, a Sanitary clamp or a Varivent® connection. This way the best flow conditions and self-cleaning effect can be achieved.

Sanitary Process Refractometer

Features

  • Universal calibration of each sensor: All sensors are freely interchangeable.
  • Full measurement range Refractive Index (nD) 1.3200 – 1.5300, which corresponds to 0-100 Brix.
  • Meets 3A Sanitary Standard and tested for CIP cleanability according to EHEDG.
  • Withstands CIP cleaning.
  • Dual connectivity: one transmitter can operate two sensors. A second sensor can be easily integrated later.
  • Completely digital system: particles and bubbles do not affect operation or accuracy.
  • Patented CORE-optics: no drift, no re-calibration, no mechanical adjustments.
  • Ethernet connection and remote panel for data-logging and remote operation.
  • Effective heat transfer and isolation using Teflon® and ceramics in the sensor provide safe operation also in higher process temperatures (max. 130 °C/266 °F).
  • Fast process temperature measurement by built-in Pt1000 and automatic temperature compensation.
  • Easy on-site instrument verification within users’ own quality assurance system with standard Refractive Index liquids.
  • ATEX Version available
